B Frank Jazz plays Bogart’s Coffee House in Seal Beach on Saturday night.

The evening runs in the venue’s downstairs room on Ocean Avenue, where the audience sits close to the stage on wooden stools.
Bogart’s identifies B Frank as a jazz vocalist and trumpet player. The venue describes his music as “reminiscent of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker and Nat King Cole,” placing his set in a vocal-jazz and trumpet tradition associated with those artists. No further biographical details, collaborators or critical notices are provided.
